Jay Cutler will be Dolphins starting QB vs. Raiders if he's healthy

After Thursday 40-0 shutout loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that if quarterback Jay Cutler can return from a rib injury in nine days, he will be the team’s starting quarterback.

“I’m not 100 percent sure right now,” Gase said. “I know on Monday he ran with the team and threw. He felt pretty good. I wasn’t going to put him out there tonight. I just didn’t think it was the smart thing to do. I know he’s tough, but I didn’t want to put him in a bad situation where he could get hurt worse.”

Matt Moore’s play on Thursday certainly makes Gase’s decision a lot easier. Moore finished 22 of 44 for 176 yards, zero touchdowns against two interceptions, which were both returned for touchdowns. He also recorded a 47.2 quarterback rating.
